The New York Times has added the following correction to an Op-Ed Article titled "Can Egypt Learn From Thailand?" by Jonathan Tepperman, the managing editor of Foreign Affairs:

Correction: August 30, 2013

An Op-Ed article last Friday about Thai politics contained several errors. Thailand’s economy is in recession, not “booming.” Antigovernment protests in 2010 occurred in the spring, not in January, and protesters were killed by the military, not the police. The prime minister since 2011, Yingluck Shinawatra, has proposed establishing a fully elected Senate and making it harder for courts to disband political parties; she has not “avoided challenging the Constitution.”
